Donald,My prayers are with each of you. I too have gone through the the lost of a Godly mother. The comfort is knowing that your mother will never feel pain again and that she is with the Lord Almighty. We will see our Mom's again because Jesus prepared a place for his own and when we walk that same walk as they did we know that they will be waiting for us. Take comfort in knowing that God loved her so much that he didn't want her to suffer any longer.Donald you did a great job taking care of her but Jesus will care for now.I pray that God gives you all the peace that surpasses all understanding and that he will give you comfort in this time on need....

To my family,

Cousin Evelyn has fought a good fight, and has finished her course. Oh what beautiful and loving Angel she was here on earth and now in heaven. Cousin Evelyn helped and inspired so many people during her walk in life. She was first and foremost a Child of God, a loving Mother and Grandmother, a Sister, a Relative and a True Friend. Cousin Evelyn was also Educated, Intelligent, Inspirational, Caring, a Mentor, and most of all, a Woman of Courage and Great Faith. She was a GIANT, and we will see her again in Glory!

My love & sympathy goes out to Donald, Ricky, Sheila, Eric, cousin Evelyn grands, sisters and brothers)

I love you cousin Evelyn, forever...
